Tough Fold For Dammert

Happy_Freaked

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

James St Hilaire raised to 6,000 from the under-the-gun plus one position and Edwin Dammert from Germany three-bet to 18,000. Dammert was sitting two seats to St Hilaire's left and the action was quickly folded back to the initial raiser.

St Hilaire tanked for a bit before making it 38,000 and Dammert made the call after about a minute.

The flop brought out and St Hilaire bet 29,500. Dammert tanked for about a minute before he bumped it up to 60,000. St Hilaire played around with his chips before eventually moving all in.

Dammert seemed surprised, confused and frustrated all at the same time while he was making up his mind. As the minutes passed Pascal Lefrancois, sitting in between the two players, grew visibly more annoyed before he eventually stated that he was ready to call the clock. At this point Dammert had been playing around with his cards for about six minutes, and ultimately the German folded face up.
